Arts administration internship opportunity

Applications are invited for a three-month arts administration internship at the Arts & Culture Trust (ACT).

The internship will offer the opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience working closely with the ACT team on various aspects of project management. The training will build upon the intern’s theoretical knowledge in an applied setting and contrast theory to practice.

The internship is designed to refine writing, verbal, and analytical skills and to reinforce a sense of professionalism and professional work ethic. The intern will be challenged to contemplate matters relating to project implementation, logistics, financial management, marketing, monitoring and evaluation, data collection, analysis and reporting. The candidate will gain an overall awareness of the operating structure of ACT and understand the relationship between the Trust and the community in which it operates.

Applicants should be entry-level professionals and must be based in Johannesburg. The internship is a full-time commitment and commences on 1 March until 30 May 2012.

Interested and suitably qualified candidates are invited to complete an online application form by no later than 6 February 2012. No late applications will be considered and only successful candidates will be contacted. ACT reserves the right to not make an appointment.

ABOUT THE ARTS & CULTURE TRUST (ACT)

ACT provides funding for all expressions of arts and culture, including literature, music, visual art, theatre and dance, and the support extends to festivals, community arts initiatives, arts management, arts education and arts administration. It embraces all aspects of arts and culture advancement such as training, the creative process, and the development of sustainable infrastructure.

ACT funds are allocated to projects by an independent Board of Trustees, comprised of leading arts practitioners and administrators. By using ACT as the conduit for corporate social investments in artistic and cultural activities, private sector companies rest in the secure knowledge that their investment is being judiciously applied to maximum effect.
